The name was changed to Hogens
Hardware on January 28, 1959 and
became affiliated with United
Hardware (Hardware Hank) of
Minneapolis.
Hogen said, when the store
opened we had a supply of goods
that was in short supply from
World War II days, such as car
tires, bicycles, wash tubs, jack
knives, alarm clocks, milk pails,
etc. People waited in line for the
store to open the first day to buy
these scarce items. Two that i re-
member that were nearly first in
line were Frank Bauman and
Maude Martin. They both wanted
tires. We took in $1400.00 that first
day, which was a princely amount
for those days. We soon found that
was only because of the supply of
those items being so scarce because
our average sales in the days to fol-
low was about $75.00.
The store started out originally
as strictly a shelf hardware store,
but as time went on, it expanded to
major appliances and eventually
hogen went into the plumbing,
heating and electrical contracting
business.
In 1952-53 Hogens tore down
the small building south of the man
structure and built a new metal
quonset building. Keith Brakke did
the cement work, Hogen recalls. a
firm from Rapid City put up the
shell and Lowell Swisher, Sam
Hogen and Billy Renning finished
the building.
In the summer of 1963 Hogens
bought the building they now oc-
cupy from Bird Patterson and
moved the hardware store into it.
It was Bill Goins, Hogen recalls,
who gave him the idea of starting a
Marshall-Wells Store here. Paul
Osburn had one in Philip and Bill
kept telling Hogen what a good
store I was and urged him to start
one in Kadoka. Marvis said that
Allen Berry and himself went deer
hunting in the Black Hills and by
chance they happened to walk by
the Marshall-Wells Store there.
They went in and a salesman from
the Marshall-Wells Company was
there so Hogen and the salesman
from the Marshall-Wells Company
was there so Hogen and the sales-
man started negotiations on open-
ing a store here. The store opened
in April, 1946 and Hogen recalled
that all four of the Hogen children
Phil, Randi, Baxter, and Cash all
worked in the store during their
grade, high school and college days.
When the original store was
opened in 1946, Hogen said lumber
for fixtures was almost impossible
to come by. They searched all over
the country and ended up having to
as far as Nebraska to get the
proper lumber for the fixtures.
Orrin Olson built them and
Clarence Brugman painted them.
Hogen recalls that one of the
best selling periods in their 35-year
business history was the early
times when they replaced coal
burning stoves and furnaces with
oil burning units. He added that, if
someone would have told me at
that time that wed someday be re-
placing oil burning units with coal
burning units, Id never have be-
lieved them, but in 1981, thats just
what we are doing.
During one period we were in
the building and contracting busi-
ness as a joint venture with Keith
Brakke. Some of the buildings that
we built were: the northwest wing
on the Kadoka School; Cedar Pass
Lodges main building, the Kadoka
City Liquor Store; the Fire Hall
and the first addition to the Jack-
son County Courthouse.
Hogen said that all of their
goods originally came in by the Mil-
waukee Railroad and said there
was overnight service from
Mitchell and Rapid City and that
there was good service from Sioux
City, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and
Duluth. The store also bought full
railroad cars of heavy, bulky items.
When the good service of the rail-
road ceased, the store shipped by
Buckingham and Barber Truck
lines. Today the bulk of the stores
goods comes in on a Hardware
Hank truck and by Barber Trans-
portation.
Another boom period in the
Hogen business came when the
REA came through and the farms
of the area became electrified.
Hogens employees were kept busy
wiring farmsteads and, of course,
there was a good demand also for
new electrical supplies and appli-
ances.
Hogens employees were kept
busy wiring farmsteads and, of
course, there was a good demand
also for new electrical supplies and
appliances.
Hogen stated that, it has been
a real pleasure to have been in the
business that helped modernize the
homes and businesses which made
living conditions so much better.
When we opened our store, there
was only one air conditioner in the
Town of Kadoka. I think it would be
safe to say that the homes and
businesses without air conditioning
are now in the minority. He went
on to add, that, when we opened
our doors, only three businesses o
Main Street had indoor plumbing.
Now they all have it. It is hard to
believe, but an adding machine
was considered a luxury back in
1946. they were expensive and
were hard to come by. We operated
several years without one, doing all
of our figuring by hand. Now, not
even the smallest business would
consider operating without a calcu-
lator, but then of course, now you
can purchase a calculator for under
$10.00.
He said, it is hard to realize
when we look at the kind of things
that we sell today, that some of the
items that we used to carry and sell
on a regular basis were copper
wash boilers, wringer washing ma-
chines with gas engines, Coleman
gasoline lamps, nose baskets and
fly nets to keep flies off horses,
wooden handles for flat irons and
milk filter discs.
Back when we were first in
business and there were lots of
traveling salesmen calling on small
towns, we had regular fieldmen
from Marshall-Wells that we
looked forward to seeing and learn-
ing lots from their experiences and
probably being gullible listeners to
some of their tales--at any rate
some of these men and their fami-
lies have come to mean a lot to us
through the years--just last Sep-
tember we visited Carl Nylund in
Nisswa, Minnesota and reminisced
about the days when he called on
us. Perhaps some of you will re-
member Seth Marshall, who also
called on us. And, ne of the men
still makes calls on us selling
Zenith TVs--thats Willie Steinlicht!
Yes, the days of the traveling men
like that are gone!
Florence Hogen recalls that
during the early days of running
the store all delivering of major ap-
pliances was done after the regular
store hours--usually with Marvis
doing the whole job--lifting appli-
ances sometimes without the use of
any kind of an appliance cart--just
a strong back--! There just werent
any eight hour days then.
Florence continued, we at-
tended hardware buying shows at
least twice a year in Minneapolis
and Duluth--trying to learn what
was new to offer our customers
and, of course, combine business
with a brief bit of vacation--weve
made good friends through the
years in the hardware field.
Mrs. Hogen also recalled that,
for quite a few years we stayed
open every Saturday night--
sometimes until the movie theatre
closed! Folks would come to town
and send the kids to the show and
just visit around on Main Street
until it was time to go home. One
family got all the way home on
Saturday night--only to discover
theyd left one child in town. They
called us and we kept the boy
overnight--our kids thought it was
just great!
Florence laughingly also re-
called that, when you run a hard-
ware store, you find that nearly all
of the dishes you have at home are
ones that have been chipped and
cannot be sold!Hardware ladies,
she said, belong to a group called,
The Order of the Chipped Cup!
Marvis continued by saying, In
visiting with people about which
business had been in operation the
longest, we came to the conclusion
that ours is the privately owned re-
tail business that has been contin-
uously operated the longest under
the same ownership in Kadoka.
Bill Goins, Helen Collins, The Eq-
uity Union Exchange, the Jackson
County Abstract Company, the
Kadoka Telephone Company and
The Kadoka Press have all been in
business longer than we have but,
retail, privately owned, same man-
agement, doesnt fit them all.
The tradition of caring and tak-
ing care of the customer that Mar-
vis and Florence began, still
continues today. Their daughter,
Randi, and her husband, Don
Oyan, moved to Kadoka 1976 and
start working at the store. Quite a
few years later they began to oper-
ate the store and gradually took
ownership of the business.
Many things have changed over
the years, said Randi, and weve
tried to adjust with the times, but
the one thing that hasnt changed
is the support weve received from
the community. The community
has helped make our business
what it is and it has been a very
good business.
Hogens Hardware will be cele-
brating their 67th anniversary
with a customer appreciation day
on Saturday, April 13. Coffee and
cookies will be served throughout
the day and lunch will be provided
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Taken from the Kadoka Press
issue April 16, 1981.
Florence and Marvis Hogen
opened their business in here on
April 13, 1946 and have continu-
ously served the Kadoka trade ter-
ritory with a first-class hardware
store since that time. The store is
probably one of the best, if not the
best, hardware stores in this part
of the state.
The Hogens opened their store
in 1946 in the old bakery building
that was only 15-feet wide. The
two-building store was used both
as a store and a dwelling place,
Hogen recalls. It was purchased
from the Bertha Martinsky estate
for $1,050.00. It was paid for with
a $300.00 down payment and
monthly payments of $25.00.
Hogen said that their first deliv-
ery vehicle was a 1929 Chevrolet.
This unit was purchased new from
the Jack Thomas Auto Company by
Ivan Colburn. Colburn had sold the
vehicle to Rudy Peterson and
Hogen bought it from Peterson. It
was a coupe and Hogen built a box
in the back of it to haul items.
The store originally opened as a
Marshall-Wells Store, being fran-
chised from the Marshall-Wells
Company of Duluth, Minnesota.

Sweet Jesus, Please Save Me -
Before I Go Broke
II Corinthians 4:7 But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may be of God and not us.
Chorus
Were in - one boat
And; we all sink or float.
Will some of our leaders
Read the Words God wrote?
Jesus walked on water;
Please save, help us float.
Sweet Jesus, please save us -
Before we go broke.
Chorus

Larry R. Grimme

Inspiration:
Sweet Jesus, please save me. We
can lose all our worldly riches, yet
Jesus ultimate saving grace will
raise us from a grave. Saving us
now, Jesus will meet our needs.
Saving us from a tomb, we leave
an empty grave behind. Saving us
from the power of Satan, Jesus
has already had victory at His
Cross:
Saving us - from blindness
of this worlds bondage.
Saving us - from losing it all
since we will always have Jesus.
Saving us - as we leave a world
crippled by sin.
Saving us - as we walk those
Golden streets in Heaven, forever.
Im home - alone
And I need-en some prayer.
The shadows whisper,
Nobody cares.
My hope - remote;
Sweet Jesus, please save me -
Before I go broke.
Chorus:
Take me home, sweet Jesus,
Cant afford the rent.
Take me home, sweet Jesus,
My taxes - all spent.
My country done spent it.
A new babys due.
Now, my riches are in you.
Im there - alone
At the end of my rope.
The worlds - a - saying,
Spend it all and hope.
I gave all to Caesar;
Pay taxes and croak.
Before I go broke.
Chorus
Maxed out - in debt;
Bove the ceilings the sky.
The coffer is empty;
Dig deep and try.
My treasure is Jesus;
He pays all my notes.
Before I go broke.

Read Genesis 39:1-23
The life of Joseph teaches important principles about
challenging times. Here are three of the lessons we can
learn from the adversities he faced:
1. Difficulties will continue until Gods purpose is ac-
complished. In Josephs case, Gods plan was to prepare him to rescue his family as well as the nation of
Egypt from famine. In order to ready Joseph for a position of authority and responsibility, God placed
him in an important Egyptian household as a slave. There, in difficult circumstances, Joseph could learn
key lessons needed for the future. Not only did he acquire valuable skills, but his faith and relationship
with the Lord were also strengthened. God still operates that way so we will be equipped to accomplish
the work He has planned for us (Eph. 2:10).
2. We learn more in the dark than we do in the light. Besides discovering the Lords faithfulness, Joseph
learned how to discern Gods presence, reject temptation, and handle any position, whether respected or
lowly. The lessons and principles of Scripture truly become ours only after they have been tested and
proven reliable.
3. What we learn in the darkness, we are to share in the light. Joseph openly shared his faith and
knowledge from God when he interpreted Pharaohs dreams (Gen. 41:15-16). He did not let imprisonment
stop him from helping others (40:1-23). What we learn in our trials is to be offered to those who are suf-
fering.
Nobody looks for adversity, but hard times seem to find us often enough. Instead of fearing hard cir-
cumstances, we can trust God and embrace His plan, knowing He uses trials for His glory and our gain.

held if being a lit sign was impor-
tant. As Lauri pointed out, in the
winter it starts to get dark by 4:00
p.m. It was agreed upon to go for-
ward with the recommendation of
a sign in at this area.
Reunion weekend, which will be
June 21, 22 and 23, activities were
discussed. The ranch rodeo is one
event that is set for that weekend.
Ryan Willert stated that last year
the event went well and there was
about 500 people in attendance. He
also asked if KCBA would be inter-
ested in being a buckle sponsor
again this year. It was agreed that
KCBA would sponsor a buckle for
the rodeo.
Another topic of discussion was
held about holding meetings in the
evening and having the minutes
emailed to those interested. It was
agreed that the March, June, Sep-
tember and December quarterly
meetings will be held at Club 27 at
6:30 p.m. Also, if anyone would like
to receive the meeting minutes by
emailed, they need to email Patty
Ulmen at the city office. Patty will
add those names to the email list
and minutes will be distributed.
The 4-H horse show will be held
in June. In the past, KCBA has
provided the lunch with Lauri Fu-
gate overseeing the lunch.
KCBA has about four and half
cases of brochures featuring
Kadoka. Updates will need to be
done prior to ordering more. The
brochures currently have a map on
the back showing where businesses
are located.
Membership reminders were
talked about. It was suggested that
an invitation be sent out for the
next quarterly meeting for busi-
nesses that cannot be in atten-
dance at the noon meetings.
Belinda Mitchell will also be
looking into getting Kadoka more
internet coverage.
The next meeting will be held on
Thursday, May 2 at Jiggers at
noon. Everyone is invited and en-
couraged to attend.

KCBA held their meeting on
Thursday, April 4 at Jiggers
Restaurant. The meeting began
with discussion of the auditorium
sound system. Bob Fugate stated
that Joe Handrahan replaced the
cover on the speaker at the audito-
rium, but it has already been
knocked off again. Lonny Johnston
has ordered the equipment and in-
stallation of the system is planned
prior to the school musical.
Rangeland Days will be held on
June 25 and 26. Jackie Stilwell dis-
cussed having businesses display
their flyers for Rangeland Days.
Also, KCBA has sponsored a buckle
for the event. This buckle, along
with four others, will be awarded to
the winners of Rangeland Days.
These buckles will be on display at
BankWest and First National
Bank.
The Easter egg hunt was a suc-
cess. Over seventy children were in
attendance. The egg hunt was held
at the auditorium due to inclement
weather.
Sarah VanderMay talked about
business of the month. Every
month a different business would
be highlighted in the paper. It was
also felt that a highlight of a busi-
ness would be great for those busi-
nesses without a store front. Sarah
presented two different quotes
from the Kadoka Press for the busi-
ness highlight ad.
She also discussed the cash
mob idea. KCBA and community
members would mob a business
on a designated day and time and
make purchases at the business.
Highlighted businesses and mob
businesses would be featured in
the ad in the Kadoka Press.
Lauri Fugate contacted several
sign companies and received
quotes. Many locations were too ex-
pensive. There is a location at mile
marker 327 which is located on the
west side of Mitchell. Lamar signs

So, now youre not only a drug
runner but also a tax man, she
said. The postmaster was just
couching in accusatory and
derogatory terms a fairly innocent
activity. I was, at the time, picking
up the mail for some neighbors,
and it contained two packages
from a pharmacy that rattled and
were obviously some pills. A third
was from an accounting firm and,
at this time of year, could be as-
sumed to be a tax return that
needed to be signed and forwarded
to our dear friends at the Internal
Revenue Service. Yep, I replied.
Thats me. No use denying it, no
matter how bad it sounded. What
shed said was true although it
wasnt anything illegal or even
reprehensible.
She was, of course, just getting
back at me for a zinger Id deliv-
ered to her a few days earlier.
When I got the mail that day, it
contained a notice saying I had a
package that was too big for the
box. I duly presented the notice at
the desk only to find my package
already sitting there ready to be
picked up. Our postmaster had
seen me coming when I came
through the door and knew I had a
package Id want to get. She got it
ready before I asked for it. I had
no idea you were that efficient, I
said in mock surprise. This remark
insinuated that efficiency was not
normally obvious in that place to
the casual observer. Hey! she ob-
jected as if Id delivered a terrible
insult, but she knew better since
she was smiling at the time.
Such back and forth trading of
insults is quite common among
friends. It is just an interesting
substitute for more normal conver-
sation that might otherwise begin,
And how are you today? or Nice
day isnt it? Young people are par-
ticularly adept at this mock-insult
give and take. On TV the other
day, I heard one teenager saying to
another, Your village just called.
Theyre missing an idiot. Another
young gal said to her older brother,
Youre lying. I can tell by the stu-
pid smile on your face. The
brother had a good comeback,
though. He said, I always have
this stupid smile on my face.
Ive even heard someone say
something like, Please take this
to the garage and try not to trip
over your own feet on the way.
The last part of this request is ob-
viously not necessary and apt to
bring an objection from the sup-
posed carrier of whatever is sup-
posed to be carried. I read a
similar thing the other day in a
picture of a musical staff where
the key signature was being
changed to six flats. Most of us pi-
anists arent overly fond of playing
in six flats because one of those is
C-flat which isnt a black key as
most flats are, but another white
key which is normally just called B
instead of C-flat. It can be hard to
remember. Anyway, in the picture,
there were the normal notations
for speed and volume along with
the instruction to Play without
griping about the key. This is
probably good advice, but it wont
take very well with me. I always
grumble around when I see a key
change to six flats. Three or four
flats or sharps are all fine and well
or even five if completely neces-
sary. Six of either seems excessive.
When I was a kid, I sometime
got to spend an afternoon with my
cousin on the neighboring ranch.
He was sort of my hero since he
was handsome and always happy
and kind. He would come take my
sister and me swimming some-
times, and once he gave me a
puppy that Id seen at his place
and taken a liking to. It was a
grand pet for a lot of years. Any-
way, if some of his friends were
around, they would good-na-
turedly insult each other with
some of the worst-sounding
phrases imaginable. Paul had been
in the Navy and had quite a vocab-
ulary. Coming from a fairly pro-
tected and innocent background, I
sometimes had no idea what on
earth they were talking about.
Some of the phrases didnt register
with me for a number of years.
Still, I enjoyed the give and take
although it never occurred to me to
use such language myself. Hearing
them banter around was some-
what enjoyable, however, since it
made me feel sort of grown up.
By the way, dont you have any-
thing better to do than sitting
around reading this drivel? Well, I
certainly hope not. I would just as
soon you keep on reading since I
like writing and hope to continue
doing so for awhile. Ill be back
next week so you can read on,
drivel or otherwise.

granddaughter of Jim Roots wife.
While here, Biz stayed with her
grandmother, Phyllis Word, in
Kadoka. She lives in Sioux Falls
where she works as a beautician.
Larry Grimme was visited this
weekend by Jim Terkildson of Wan-
blee and his two kids, Tristan and
Amber. Jim and kids are sort of
family for Larry. While here, Jim
helped install a new fan in the
bathroom and did other odd jobs.
Larry has a welder, but he prefers
to have Jim run it instead of him-
self. Larry and the Terkildsons
were in church and Sunday school
on Sunday.
Jo Rodgers has managed to stay
fairly busy lately what with her
normal job as postmaster at Murdo
plus her work at the city office, the
bar and the store. Jory Rodgers
helps out at the store when he isnt
busy with school or track. Track
started the same week that
wrestling ended, so he didnt get
much of a break from sports. Jo
says it keeps him out of trouble
which he probably isnt looking for
much anyway.
Colter, Abby, Ashlynn and Erika
Carlson all took in the prom at
Kadoka on Saturday evening since
Ashlynn was a crown bearer. They
stayed for the grand march and so
on. Back at home, the heifers have
pretty much finished calving, but
the cows are now in full swing.
Abby said her brother, Clay Hind-
man, was at Fargo, ND, this week-
end doing some bull riding at a
rodeo. No word had been received
yet on Sunday evening as to how he
came out. Clay is living in Pierre.
Mark and Nicci DeVries and
sons attended the prom in Kadoka
on Saturday evening. Gavin is a
junior and escorted Kate Ras-
mussen. Since Mark was volun-
teered as a chaperone, Nicci and he
performed that function and stayed
for the whole thing. They skipped
the after-prom party since their du-
ties didnt extend that far. They got
home around midnight. Gavin and
Geoffrey have now completed
wrestling for the year and have
started track.
Eve Fortune started work at the
library in Kadoka on Saturday. She
didnt have to work alone that day,
but the plan is for her to take over
on Saturdays to give the regular li-
brarian a break. Abby stayed home
with Chuck that day and helped
him. Chuck hasnt been feeling the
best just lately with some kind of
cold of flu. It hasnt been severe
enough to keep him from doing his
work but has made it so he doesnt
do a lot extra over the essentials.
He did pretty much take Sunday
off. His dad, Bob, took over that
day.
Greg Badure said he had an
empty house for a while this week-
end. Carol Badure took the kids for
the whole weekend and Dana was
working at Discount Fuel. If Greg
felt like hollering, only the walls
were there to hear him. A trip to
Pierre was scheduled for Monday
on income taxes. The kids were
glad to be going along thanks to a
promise that they could eat at Mc-
Donalds and use the play yard
there. Greg said Tom DeVries was
trotting around on Sunday with his
matched pair of gray horses pulling
his black and red wagon. Greg also
said Paul Scherf has returned
again this year to help Al and Bax
Badure with calving. Paul is the
head wrangler at the HF Bar dude
ranch in Wyoming, but he has
pretty much finished the calving
there and now has time to help
here before the tourist season be-
gins.

If you want someone to talk ask a
man; if you want to get something
done ask a women.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
Last Thursday evening the
Northwest Indian Bible College
Choir of Alberton, Montana per-
formed at the Raymond Montour
church at Norris. Laura Patton of
Lakeview is a member of the group.
Among those attending were her
parents, Ron and Becky Patton,
and family of Crookston, Nebraska,
and her grandpa, Cyde Brewer, of
Kilgore, Nebraska, uncle and aunt,
Evan and Dorothy Bligh. James
and Marjorie Letellier and their
daughter, Julie, also enjoyed the
concert. A potluck supper was held
at the Norris Township Hall follow-
ing the performance. The group of
twenty people were hosted by Kurt
and Sarah Duvall of Norris.
June Ring was among the folks
attending the funeral services for
Justin White Face in Rosebud. The
burial was north of Parmelee at the
Lower Cut Meat Cemetery. Bill
Huber served as one of the Pall
Bearers. June was glad to get to
see Elsie Huber while there, too.
Norris School News: It is
lower grades mixed basketball sea-
son at Norris and White River. The
first games will be Thursday after-
noon at 4:00 p.m. with about four
teams playing with White River
here at Norris. Come and support
the kids, it is a lot of fun for them
and will be for you too.
There no need for a school elec-
tion in White River School District
this year. Three vacancies and
three petitions were filed so all po-
sitions were filled
Marjorie Popkes hosted the
monthly meeting of the St. John
Lutheran Womens Missionary
League Bible Study and meeting
Thursday afternoon. Carol Fergu-
son, June, Jan and Jessie Ring ac-
companied Sharon Ring to
Marjories home at Lakeview. Rev.
Glen Denke also attended and
stayed for supper that evening.
Congratulations to our UPS
man, Stan Haynes, on his recent
retirement. Last week, he thanked
us for all the smiles and greetings
every day on his route. Actually,
who wouldnt smile and wave at a
guy that brought you a package
every time he was at the door? I
will never forget, him bringing us a
big package on December 24 years
ago, just in time for Christmas Eve.
The little girls were so excited, it
was a new electric mixer for me
and they knew it. We sure appreci-
ate his years of service.
Friday afternoon, Sharon Allard
came down from Spearfish to visit
her mother, Maxine Allard. Sharon
spent the night before heading
back on Saturday. Friday evening,
June Ring was a supper guest of
the Allard gals.
Happy birthday wishes go out to
Leslie (Babe) WoodenKnife. The
Wooden Knife families honored
their uncle Babe on his 79th birth-
day with Indian tacos, pie and
birthday cake at the Norris Town-
ship Hall on Saturday. Heres wish-
ing you many more birthdays.
Babe WoodenKnife worked for
many different area ranchers in-
cluding Barney and Cora Letellier.
Even the town couldnt continue
without him; he worked at the
store and later at the gas station,
too.
Ty and Taylor Merchen were
among the young folks attending
the prom in Kadoka on Saturday. I
am so glad, it turned out to be
lovely day for it too. Ty was
crowned king at the prom from the
senior class and Taylor was
crowned princess from the junior
class.
Sunday morning coffee guests at
the Ed Ferguson home were Gene
and Marjorie Popkes of Lakeview
and Pete Ferguson and Kaleigh
WoodenKnife.
Maxine Allard received word
that her grandson, Daniel Allard,
was promoted to rank of Sergeant
in the South Dakota National
Guard at a ceremony held on Sat-
urday. Daniel is the son of Stan and
Ivy Allard of Rapid City.
Sunday afternoon, June Ring
enjoyed a visit with Alberta Allard
at the home of Cliff and Pam.
Bertie helped June put the binding
on a precious little baby quilt (John
Deere design) that she is making
for her latest grandchild.
We are getting a little bit of
moisture each day here lately, but
hopefully more is on the way and
we will take as much as we can get.
We appreciate every drop, but
hopefully next week we will have a
lot of moisture to report.
Keep a grin on your face and
have a great week!

The Kadoka Area High School
track team made a strong opening
showing at the Todd County Invita-
tional Track Meet in Mission on
Thursday, April 4. Several athletes
competed very strongly, placing in
several events and receiving
medals. The team is heavy on vet-
eran leadership, featuring a strong
group of seniors and juniors who
have been active track athletes
since middle school and after a
strong showing at Todd County, the
coaches anticipate a solid year of
track and field performances.
Topping the day were two
Kadoka juniors who set qualifying
marks for the State B Track Meet
in Sioux Falls at the end of May.
Chandlier Sudbeck ran the 300
meter hurdles in a time of 42.9 sec-
onds, placing first by .05 seconds
and qualifying for state. Logan Am-
mons placed first in the discus with
a state-qualifying toss of 146 8.
Both athletes recently placed sec-
ond (Sudbeck) and third (Ammons)
at the state B wrestling meet and
their success continues on the
track and in the field.
Strong performances were
turned in by several relay teams
and individual event runners. The
boys 1600 meter medley relay
brought home a first place finish,
while the girls and boys 3200
meter relay teams each brought
home second place medals. Senior
Marti Herber and sophomore Myla
Pierce turned respectively turned
in in second and third place fin-
ishes in the 100 meter hurdles,
with Marti capturing sixth in the
300 meter hurdles.
With the Harry Weller Invita-
tional Track Meet having been can-
celled due to weather on Tuesday,
April 9, the next varsity meets will
be the Center of the Nation Track
meet in Belle Fourche on Saturday,
April 13.

Tillage may be the worst thing
right now that could happen for soil
in South Dakota fields say conser-
vation officials. Spring tillage is a
tradition that is steeped deeply
into American agriculture. Now,
more and more producers are real-
izing that tillage is not in the best
interest of their soils health.
Tillage was once considered
necessary in order to prepare a
proper seed bed for planting. Now,
we know that we can produce as
much or more grain without tilling
the soil, says Jason Miller, Conser-
vation Agronomist with the Natu-
ral Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Pierre, SD.
Tillage passes reduce surface
soil moisture, but more alarming is
that fact that tillage is incredibly
destructive to soil; it is like a tor-
nado going through a house, says
Miller. Tillage collapses and de-
stroys organic matter and soil
structure. Those macro pores in
the soil structure are essential
they are what helps water to infil-
trate the soil profile, he says.
The possibility of 2013 being
another dry year should have pro-
ducers rethinking their use of
tillage, says Miller. In a tilled con-
dition, soil is vulnerable to erosion.
As dry as the soil profile is start-
ing out this year, even getting the
crop seeded will be difficult without
a concern for wind erosion, says
Miller. Winds during the spring
easily pick up soil particles on
tilled fields before crops can be-
come established.
Reducing or eliminating tillage,
increases surface residue, builds
organic matter and preserves soil
health, says Miller. Improved
cropping systems for building soil
should include no-till, diverse high
residue producing crop rotations
and cover crops.

more about soil health or wanting
technical assistance for implement-
ing a soil health management sys-
tem on their farm or ranch should

Tillage worst
thing for SD soils
Winter Wheat Status Update
A month ago, this column ad-
dressed the apparent lack of win-
terkill over much of the winter
wheat growing area in South
Dakota, as well as concerns about
drought and vernalization. Based
on observations and reports from
several farmers, agronomists and
crop consultants, the lack of win-
terkill seems to be holding true as
soil temperatures are raising to
where seeds are found to be germi-
nating, or seeds already germi-
nated continuing to grow.
For the most part, this is also
lowering the concern about the
crop vernalizing, as the germina-
tion process began early enough
for much of the crop to go through
the required period of time at soil
temperatures low enough to do so.
For much of the state however,
the lack of soil moisture continues
to be a concern. Many areas re-
ceived moderate amounts of snow,
and some a little rain, which was
enough to provide good soil mois-
ture from a few inches to a foot
deep or more. Given the low water
requirement of the wheat plants at
this early stage, this will be
enough for them to get a start and
grow for a few weeks, but addi-
tional moisture is needed soon.
Some areas, such as west of Pierre,
have received very limited mois-
ture over the winter, maybe
enough to begin the germination
process and allow it to vernalize,
but little enough that some
seeds/sprouts are molding.
A number of winter wheat fields
in south-central South Dakota
were evaluated on April 4, and al-
though very little growth was seen
above ground, sprouts were found
beneath the soil surface, and
would be expected to emerge in a
few days. Fields in central and
northern South Dakota, with snow
cover until recently, and lower soil
temperatures, will certainly be be-
hind this progress. Although many
winter wheat fields look dismal,
time, and hopefully rain, could
make a big difference.
As discussed in an earlier col-
umn, the dominant component in
wheat yield is the number of heads
per unit area. You obviously wont
be able to know how many tillers
each plant will produce at this
stage, but a good plant population
to have is 14-15 or more plants per
square foot. If the stand is rela-
tively uniform across the field (a
minimum of blank areas), stands
as low as 5-6 plants per square foot
can produce nearly 70% of maxi-
mum yield if managed properly.
Before destroying a winter
wheat field, certainly contact your
crop insurance agent. Even if an
adjuster assigns a yield value to
the field, you may want to weigh
the pros and cons of abandoning
the field for another use. The
prospect of successfully raising an-
other crop will be highly depend-
ent on rainfall. Producers may
want to consider planting addi-
tional forage crops into less than
adequate winter wheat stands in
hopes of producing hay, which
could be in high demand.
Any field that is subject to wind
erosion, such as fallow fields, or if
the previous crop was soybeans,
field peas, sunflowers, corn cut for
silage or hay, etc.; it would be ben-
eficial to plant something, maybe
a cover crop, rather than leave it
bare.

You can save work and have bet-
ter garden soil if you stop tilling. It
is difficult to get rid of the old idea
of tilling deep and frequent, such
hard work only brings up more
weed seeds and destroys the mi-
croorganisms in the soil that break
down the roots which makes rich
garden soil. Tilling also creates a
hardpan; let the earth worms do
the fertilizing, instead of chopping
them up with the tiller or hoe.
So now you are asking what to
do with the weeds? The answer is
to just start adding mulch and
cover them up. Mulch can come in
many different forms such as card-
board, shredded paper, newspaper
(without color print) just soak them
with water and add grass clippings,
wood chips, straw, bark or hay on
top, I have even carpeted some of
my walkways. We here in rural
South Dakota have an advantage,
because there is always well rotten
manure available, or an old stack
yard nearby to gather hay mulch
left over from last winters
haystacks, lots of grass clippings,
dried leaves, kitchen scraps and all
the other things that can be added
that were once a living plant, and
it doesnt cost a bit. If weeds come
through you dont have the mulch
thick enough, add more--- up to 8-
10 inches, and keep a supply at the
edge of the yard, to keep adding
more. This takes a little more effort
in the spring, but eliminates a lot
of work the rest of the summer, and
your plants will love it, especially
when it is 110 degrees and thirty
mile hour south wind. With the
prediction of another drought year,
your garden plants can be much
happier with some protections for
their roots, plus the worms and mi-
croorganisms are busy at work
under the mulch making you more
and better soil, otherwise if it is dry
and parched on top of the soil the
worms and their companions are
driven deeper into the ground. An-
other plus is the worms make holes
in the soil so water can permeate
into the soil instead of running off.
Keep adding your much year
around and eventually build your
soil in to a rich loam your plants
will produce and thrive in. If you
have questions on how to manage
your garden, you can email adri-
ans@gwtc.net.

Stop tilling for a better garden soil
The SDSU Cottonwood Field
Station has recently undergone
major renovations and is staged to
become a prominent community
and agricultural resource for the
tri-county area. The South Dakota
State University Extension Service
and Agriculture Experiment Sta-
tion Office will hold 3 meetings to
gather community input concern-
ing public awareness of, and ideas
to increase the utilization of the
Cottonwood Field Station. Each
forum will be held from 5:30 to 8:30
p.m. with a meal provided at:
Jiggers Restaurant,
Kadoka, April 30
Wall Community Center,
Wall, May 1
The Steakhouse,
Philip, May 2
Community involvement is key
to the success of these forums. At-
tendees will be asked to participate
in small group discussions and pro-
vide input and perspectives about
the station through questions pre-
sented by the moderator. Our goals
for these forums are:
Build a relationship between
the community and the station
Increase visibility and rele-
vance of station functions
Improve integration of the sta-
tion into the community
Better utilize station resources
for community events
Please plan to attend one of the
forums and let your ideas be heard.
We value your input! Please RSVP
on or before April 23 to Paulette
Morse (605-394-1722 or

Share your input and be heard!
that can really make traveling dan-

he said.
In "Pruning Fruit Trees"
http://igrow.org/gardens/commer-
cial-horticulture/pruning-fruit-
trees/, Geoffrey Njue discusses that
the spring is the best time to do the
pruning. This is also the best time
of year to prune shade trees. One of
the major differences being that we
are generally not pruning to maxi-
mize fruit production but rather
pruning to improve the form and
structure of the tree so that it will
provide good shade but also be bet-
ter able to withstand spring ice
storms and summer thunder-
storms.
"One of the most important as-
pects here is to eliminate narrow
"V"-shaped crotches and double
leaders at the top of the trees,"
Graper said. "The best time to cor-
rect these problems and prevent
what is often the most serious dam-
age to your trees during a storm, is
to prune the trees while they are
young."
Ideally Graper says you should
prune out potential structural
problems while the branches are
small enough to be removed with a
hand pruner or loppers, from the
ground. Removing the branches
when they are small, less than 2-
inches in diameter, causes less
stress to the tree and allows the
tree to recover from the pruning
much more rapidly.
"It is also much safer for you to
conduct the pruning because you
are doing it from the ground and
don't have to resort to using a lad-
der and a chainsaw, which is often
a dangerous combination," he said.
"If the tree has gotten too large to
work on from the ground or the
branches too large to be removed
with a lopper or small pruning saw,
consider contacting a local arborist
to do the work for you. We have
many well-trained arborists in the
region that know how to properly
prune your trees and know how to
do it in a safe manner for you and
your property."
Our local weather forecaster
says that we are now in meteoro-
logical spring, says David Graper,
Extension Horticulture Specialist
and Director of McCrory Gardens.
He is quick to point out that this is
slightly different than regular
spring in that it runs during the
months of March through May.
"In my experience, March can be
rather unpredictable as far as the
weather is concerned but we are
likely to see a mixture of warmer
spring-like weather which can
sometimes be quickly followed by
remnants of 'old man winters'
fury," Graper said.
Graper reminds readers that
during March, temperatures can
swing from near 10 degrees Ferin-
height (F) to more than 40 degrees
F over the course of a day, espe-
cially in western South Dakota.
"The best part of spring though
is that even if we get dumped on
with a spring snow storm, the snow
generally melts fairly quickly in
the next few days. Unfortunately,
this is also the time of year when
we can get the dreaded ice storms
